Protecting freshly-painted steel rims

Instead of buying new, clean rims for Bob, I've decided to recycle my current steelies. I'm stripping all the rust and old paint down to bare metal (both sides of the rim), coating it all with Extend, and spraying chrome spray paint (Dupli-color - is this stuff any good?). Slap on some new trim rings and those rims look pretty good if I must say.

Anyhoo, I want to preserve the paint on the rims. Is there some type of clear-coat I can apply to it, and where do I get it? Or is there something else? Or do I just keep a coat of wax on it?

Thanks!
